Well, today was our last Little Flowers Girls’ Club meeting until March, since I prudently decided to give myself a baby break from Dec-Feb!
I can’t believe we have already had FIVE meetings this year. Wow!! I am very thankful for the break, but I will miss our meetings and all the girls. My girls will too!! They have LOVED having so many of their little friends over every couple weeks.
I hadn’t had much time prior to the meeting to think about ways to explain prudence to the girls, so before the meeting I did a quick search on the Little Flower Leaders Yahoo Group and ran across the suggestion to use the story of the Three Little Pigs. It was so easy, not to mention they loved it and it really helped them understand what being prudent means.
We then went on to discuss other ways in which we can be prudent, including practicing the Spiritual Works of Mercy. While we talked about the Spiritual Works of Mercy, the girls colored some pictures of the Spiritual Works of Mercy, which I had printed onto card stock and, once they were done, we cut into Flash Cards for them to take home. (This was from Catholic Artworks Teachers Helper Edition #17.)
I included the memory verse for Prudence, an image of St. Angela Merici, The Spiritual Works of Mercy, an image of a violet, and the prayer to St. Angela Merici from the Little Flowers Virtues CD.

Saint Therese, the Little Flower, pray for us!
It was wonderful Jessica! You did a beautiful job and the girls appreciate all you do so much, as do all of us moms!!!
Dear Jessica,
As usual a wonderful presentation.
I love how you are sharing your worksheets. This is such a gracious thing to do.

I would have liked to have come to this meeting to learn more about St. Angela!
Thanks for the links.

Fantastic as always Jessica! Your notebook pages came out wonderfully and the snacks look super yummy. 🙂 And most importantly the girls look like they had a great time while learning an important virtue.
Thanks so much for sharing.
God bless!
